eDreams
Reviews and Complaints

I had similar problems one time with EasyJet and two times with travelplanet24.com .
I am now sure that there is no bug on their websites, this is something embeded so that we would pay the extra fee for changing the date to the correct one...

tried to book flights with this company, but they would not except the child's birth date we had to ring there hot line
at £1.53 per minute i dont think so this is after i had put all our passport details on there web site it stinks .
watch for companies like this there are lots about book direct with airlines and reputable company's

I've just been hit for more than 1, 400 pounds by eDreams. I tried to book with them but all three of my cards were rejected (both on-line and on the phone). So I went elsewhere and bought a ticket. Next thing I find out that eDreams went ahead a day later and took the 1, 400 pounds from one of my cards and I never heard another thing from them. When I write to their customer service email, I get silence. Does anyone know how we can get these guys to stop committing this kind of fraud?

My experience is almost the same. After booking a flight and submitting my card details I find that they have withdrawn a £20 booking fee but supplied no tickets. In response to my email asking what is going on, they now want me to send scanned copies of my passport and credit card by email to them!
They are obviously a scam. I have now cancelled my card to ensure I am not debited further and will persue them for a refund of the monies already stolen. DO---------------------NOT USE THIS ORGANISATION-------------------

Having what sounds like the exact same problems. What's with this company? How do they stay in business? They have my debit card number but haven't billed me yet and won't confirm my booking and / or send an eticket! They stink! I'm worried if I make another booking instead I'll get double billed. SO wish I hadn't tried to make this booking through eDreams. Is there any organization that regulates them or is that wishful thinking?

I agree - my 'edreams' experience has been nothing but 'enightmare'. They make it virtually impossible for you to get in contcat with them to either complain or change errors that THEY made when booking my flights. After having to correct WRONG input details on their part where they gave me no other option than to return the ticket twice (where I still had to pay the insurance of 145euros) then finally after attempting to reserve this ticket for the THIRD time and even after receiving a CONFIRMATION EMAIL FROM EDREAMS, they now claim 3 weeks later that my flight is not reserved and does not exist!

Most hopeless customer service EVER ; the french branch and a french employee even told me on the phone that I should go to their competitor 'govoyages' if I was not happy with them! What brilliant customer service! Last time ever in my life and I will try and make sure anyone I know does not get involved in this bogus company and its' pitiful and painful 'customer service'

well for me they just double charge for the booking fees not once but in two occasions!
when i was booking on the second occasion i completly forgot that they had double charged me on the first time!
it horrible i think that i wont be booking with them again and im going to write a very angry letter to get my money back cuz im a student and 20 pounds times 2 is a lot of money!
its very annoying!

Edreams is a scammer site, I fell a victim, my money was taken and I couldn't make my journey. Please someone should stop them.

Is there any way we can stop this . I have the same problem, and am still waiting for a refund...
What about the small claims court, or the ombudsman. there must be a way somewhere..

I'm struggling with almost similar experience but the "wall" is infront of me in earlier phase.
All phone numbers are provided without a country code. How on earth am I able to figure out what country code I should dial infront of the number?
Also during the booking I also took the premium service package. After the confirmation I realized that this is 800 local number and it cannot be used internationally.
FAX!? it's year 2016. Who on earth uses faxes these days? Why are they even using that as a option no1?

I had a very similar experience.
When I received their second email and read the paragraph quoted here below, I realized this company is a MAJOR SCAM:

>
We regret to inform you that we have not been able to process the payment for your reservation. In order to issue your e-ticket we will need copies of the following documents via fax: [protected] or [protected] or scanned to documents@edreams.com

ID card or passport copy of the cardholder
Copy of the credit card front (For safety make sure only the last fours digits are shown)
Booking reference number
Passenger's full names

Please keep in mind, since airlines change fares constantly, eDreams can not guarantee any price until tickets are issued . Therefore, we recommend that you send us the required documents as soon as possible. We will notify you of any fare changes via email so you can decide if continue with your reservation, applying the new fares, or prefer to cancel (without any additional cost).

No serious company will ever ask you to send them photocopies (or scanned copies) of your passport or your credit card over the Internet. Due to personal circumstances I travel constantly, usually booking flight, hotel and car, directly and/or through different sources, for myself and/or my family and have a vast experience in this field. This is the first time I'm trying to book a flight through e-dreams. This company is a scam and quite dangerous too because it surely succeed in getting personal information from less experienced travelers that should never be shared over the internet.
Also it is obvious that if you respond to them the least they will do is to declare the airlines raised their fare and you will have to pay 100 or more dollars extra.
I decided to ignore their request and booked with a different company obtaining the exact same flights for 190 Dollars less and of course without having to give them any copy of any personal documents.

I foolishly booked three flights with edreams, without first reading the reviews on the company... i just noticed the low prices and thought it would be prudent to book with them.

for the first flight, edreams confirmed one leg of the flight but could not book the connecting flight to the destination (!)... what a waste!
for the second flight, I was told by edreams they couldnt confirm it so I made other arrangements with another website. the next day e dreams sent me a confirmation email, (which by the way was after the date of the booked outbound flight !), so i basically ended up paying twice for the same flights
For the third flight, three weeks after booking it, edreams informed me that they were unable to confirm the booking owing to a problem with the airline booking systems (yeah, right) so i had to make alternative arrangements. By this point, prices for this particular flight had risen by 100% on other websites.

This is really most inconveniencing as I do not have the time to be collating correspondence and submitting to complaints forums and seeking compensation. I just want to fly at the cheap cost that ive been quoted! I have wasted hundreds of euros on this ridiculous excuse for a company in a time and age where money and time is valuable.

Agree with you. My 1h 25' journey from Bristol to Bordeaux was to take 20h 43'. Suddenly I cannot receive a refund, even though I have bought insurance. They tell me that British Airways is a low cost Airline. E Dreams is B Nightmares!

Hi Julie,

I am sorry to hear about your bad experince with eDreams, would you please be so kind to send a copy of this claim and your booking reference to the following email address stating the problems experienced with your car rental?.

the e-mail address is
claims-uk@edreams.com

we will try to solve any doubt or problem you might have about your booking.

Thanks

Dear Madam/ Sir,

during the booking process of above mentioned reference I did not see that additional charges will apply for normal baggage of the tiger air flight,
because it was not addressed properly enough. I do feel betrayed here and I would appreciate your advise how to rectify this issue.

Your help is very much appreciated and I remain

with best regards

Jens Machatsch

hidden charges Easy jet were doing flight for £61 and e dreams were £58 so went for e dreams.just about to buy when price went up to £88, £ 30 charges for booking through e dreams and I nearly missed it, they don't mention it until the very end having wasted all that time.naughty e dreams beware.wouldn't touch them with a barge pole now.very underhand

Transaction date: 08/17 in the amount of $462.16
Bank of America Visa card in the name of Raymond L Muehlman Jr.
I have no idea what this charge is for.

Hi All Yes I am one of the latest victims of there scam. They just double charged me after getting authorization for the transaction. The bank then just allowed the next two transactions to go through. Which added up to the the original amount authorised. There are a few ways we can get action going. Firstly claim from you bank's fraud department which I believe might well be legally obliged to refund you. Secondly If after giving them (www.edreams.com) a chance to pay back the money within three days they fail to do so then get all their email addresses and send then thousands of emails on a daily basis. One can re-forward the same message from you sent box. Just cut and paste the addresses in each time and you will be sending a fantastic amount of emails. Thirdly, if there are some hackers out there looking for a good cause to support then you could contribute by either hacking their site www.edreams.com or attacking it with a DOS attack (for those of use in English this is a Denial Of Service attack) using a program such as the Low Oribt Ion Cannon. An additional method for those who have a Firefox browser is to use the WOT (Web Of Trust) add on, which allows you to rate sites that are a danger to society. Very easy to use. It will automatically warn other web browsers of the danger! I use this to help protect my child from porn. It is just unacceptable in this day and age that people like this can just away with blatantly stealing peoples money and the authorities don't do anything. Therefore we need to stand up for ourselves. It is people like this that take advantage of society. Let a beggar steal a few dollars and they get sent to jail. Let people like edreams take peoples money, which has being going on and on for years and years if you read the comments people have been posting, and still nobody does anything, unbelievable!

The best we can do, all of us, which are affected by one or another way from eDreams...is:
1st. Inform all the aircraft companies, which they selling tickets of about their behaviour and unprofessional manner...so they actualy loosing reputation and passengers this way
2nd. If they are registered in Spain, than we can proceed further under EU legislation ...I think we could easily collect some like 1000 signatures...
3rd. Someone, who is good in bloging to register a unique name and to start a specifiede blog with one simple purpose only, to protect hundred of tousands new travelers for making such a mistake and to shows in googling immediately after their home page.
Regards, Vincent

I agree with your complaint about eDreams BIG TIME. Last September, I booked a flight from Rome to Miami for a trip in May 2011 and the dates I entered on the confirmation came out on the printed document as a date one week from the date I was making the purchase. I immediately noticed the error within minutes, and read the general terms on how to reach customer service/make changes, immediately sent an email stating the proble asking for resolution every two hours for two days; phone Barcelona, phoned the US customer service line wrote latters and faxed to eDreams all in the day and the day following the day I made the purchase with NO RESPONSE! I immediately contacted AMERICAN EXPRESS WHO SUSPENDED THE CHARGES FOR ABOUT THREE WEEKS AND THEN REINSTATED THE CHARGES. tHYE DID THIS EVEN AFTER I PROVIDED 42 PAGES OF CLEAR DOCUMENTS THAT GAVE DATES AND DESCRIPTIONS OF MY REQUESTS. I ASKED AN ATTORNEY WHO SUGGESTED I FILE SUIT IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT AS A REMEDY. THE COST OF THE TICKETS WAS $ 1, 700 WHICH I DON'T INTEND TO EAT. FURTHERMORE, I PURCHASED TRIP CANCELLATION INSURANCE. I AM LOOKING FOR A US MAILING ADDRESS FOR EDREAMS AS WELL AS TA ASSOCIATES AND PERMIRA WHO ACQUIRED EDREAMS IN THE LAST YEAR. I HAVE ALSO CONSIDERED BUILDING A FILE OF PEOPLE LIKE YOU AND I WHO HAVE EXPERINCED FRAUD LOSSES AND FILING A CLASS ACTION SUIT IF I CAN LOCATE AN ATTORNEY WHO WILL TAKE ON THE SUIT.

does anyone have a Australian edreams office number. i also wish to cancell a flight, mmmm from what i have read, i quess i will get the run around about a refund. all i get is a anwsering machine [protected], , is there another contact number - thanks

i am only quessing, but i also wish to cancell my flight from reading other comments i can almost bet i'll do my hard earned money, no one seems to anwser a telephone [ anwsering machine]. do they have a Australian office? does anyone have there contact number.

edrams are nothing but con artist bookrd a flight they took my money the flight was canceld the money was refunded in my name used but with there card details.i have now been tring for 2 months to get my money back but with no luck i have now spent a small fortune in phone calls at £1.57 per minuite calling them i will not give up next action will be through the legal chanels DO NOT USE EDREAMS .

Robbing ###! After trying to book flights from Paris to Bristol eDreams said they couldn't confirm the booking so I went ahead and booked with another company only to find that eDreams took the money from my account the next day. The other company refunded directly into my account. I then found out that eDreams had put my name on their credit card and recived my refund, I am sure this practice is illegal, they have stolen my money! They are almost impossible to contact, I wont give up. I don't know how they are getting away with this.

I have even more interesting story for this company which is using "the latest data encryption techniques to ensure that your purchases will be absolutely secure".

I was in the process of switching to another bank as was offered a better package. Got regular visa card with them. Moved some of my funds onto it.

The card was brand new I did not even use it in any physical shop in Denmark. Found some good deal on edreams and recomended by friends advice purchased the ticket. Copenhagen-NY. It went through all right, no requests for additional info, or pass check etc.

Card was put aside for some time and this very single time used on edreams.com. It was laying home basically.

Few weeks after I get debit on my statement, one for edreams flight purchase the exact amount of booking and one more for amount similar to edreams purchase with difference of few euros.

The company charging me strangely enough is also originating from Spain and i get the bill for some hostel payment in Barcelona.

I dont know how to explain this, since my visa is brand new, I didnt go to barcelona and it was laying at home in Copenhagen all the time, so i didnt even use outside, so somebody can misuse it. The only purchase was done though internet and on edreams.com

Luckily enough My bank covered the amount for me and it was obvious credit card misuse, but i am very doubtfull about edreams so called the latest data encryption techniques to ensure that your purchases will be absolutely secure.

edream is1 a rip off! Searched for flight to jamaica in August on their site. Showed $511. When I paid with my credit card I noticed that they charged 64 additional dollars booking fees for the two tickets. Plus my bank charge an additional 32 for international finance charge. When I speak to their representative I can get nowhere as they are just telephone operators from Asia. I am not crazy to go and buy ticket plus these charges from a third party when others are not charging fee and the customer pays what is published or promised. We have to stop edreams. Consumers protection is urgently needed. We are being abused! Help! Help!

Dear,
I notice you experienced a similar issue with Edreams as me. I am doing all the necessary to get a refund from them and I see it as my task to prevent others from making the same mistake and buying a ticket with Edreams. Therefore, I created a Facebook group to increase pressure on them and I would like to invite you to join this group: “Edreams: you get a scam while expecting a dream” via the following link:

Kind regards,

I booked 2 flights with eDreams and had to cancel them immediately because my bank, (Bank of America) froze my account for security reasons, even though it is written all over my account, DO NOT FREEZE FUNDS WHILE TRAVELING, a reoccurring problem with BofA. I immediately contacted eDreams and asked that they cancel the flights for I was 500 miles away in a tiny village at the Pyrenees Mountains in France and had to leave by train immediately to catch those flights. When I could finally reach the bank in California, (very hard on a Sunday in France, the next day Sunday in the US...and no touch tone phones in the village which is the only way to release the hold!)...2 days later!...I told the bank not to pay eDreams, but they made mistake No. 2 and paid them automatically when they released the hold. Next I go to eDreams, 3 Emails later they respond saying...No, we don't give money back for cancellations!

Guys...this is how big companies make money! It is corruption and no one takes responsibility for the disruption and chaos they create in their patrons lives.

booked direct flight chicago to dusseldorf
ebookers did not inform me they had made a mistake with the booking
there are no direct flights with united airlines from chicago to dusseldorf
flight was brought fwd and went via frankfurt nearly missed flight
very annoyed with the poor service

be aware, the same company -edreams now operates also in Germany!
I wanted to book a holiday with a car, at the end it was without car, asI asked by phone, thez told me it is no car, I reset the booking, had not signed the booking, but they want me to pay for a not booked holyday!
Nice ?

This company is a terrible nightmare. I've booked a ticket and received an email stated that my flight booking was confirmed but the payment was pending.But the next day I've called my bank and they told me that the transaction is successful. Then I called eDreams and asking about my ticket and again they send me another email asking a copy of my passport and both sides of my credit card. This is so ridiculous! Because of security concern of my credit card I refused to proceed the purchase. So I asked them to cancel my booking. They told me that the money is still floating and they will refund back my money but when I've checked with my bank statement, they transaction is done. When I've come cross to a lot of complaints about eDreams I'm freaking out. Because it was a lot of money to me since I've booked a flight for three person. Now I'm still waiting for them to refund my money back and eDreams has lack of security system in their ebiz. This is sucks! No more dealing with eDreams.
